I’m working on this address sign and the cut quality of the numbers and letters is not so great. See pictures. What is causing the jaggedness, and how do I fix this? Note on the number 3, part of it is jagged but the sweeping arc is very nice - I can't figure this! The letters are about 1" tall and the number 3 is 2-1/4”. The open area of the letters is about 1/8” wide. Info: GS 4x4 w/AM2 Flexcut 80 w/40A consumables (fresh). FC set to 40A 11Ga steel HR CH .08 CS 55ipm (line speed test shows 50-55ipm best) SV 115 PH .16 PD .3 80 psi air (air is clean/dry) Thanks!
Ok, I did a forum search and some others had similar issues as me. In my case it ended up being the 90 deg. lifter station bracket. When I tapped the lifter station you could see the vibration. So I removed this, mounted the LS directly to the gantry and this fixed the jagged cut issue. I also tweaked some pierce points and lead-ins and this helped on a couple of the thin letters.
i too had jagged cuts when the lifter station was mounted on the right angle tool bracket... removed it an walla.... jagged cuts disapeared. only downside was that i lost about 1.5 inches in the y direction
That bracket was a bit of a mistake. I'm surprised TM equipped the tables with it as sensitive as it is to the acceleration/deceleration of the torch mount. I think the less mass the table has to move around the better too.
you guys happen to be able to show a photo of what you are referring to that you removed ? i have the same issue on my classic 4x8 and wondering if this could be the issue
Interesting, I have The 2x4 Torchmate with the angle bracket and it never created the problem. Just must be some do some don’t. Larry Cameron RusticMetalArt
